How To Know if an Avocado is Ripe
Squeezing the fruit is a good way to determine its doneness—the flesh should yield to moderate pressure—but it’s also a good way to mistake a bruised avocado for a ripe one. To be sure, flick the small stem of the avocado. If it comes off easily and you can see green underneath it, the avocado is ripe. If the stem does not come off or if you see brown underneath it, the avocado is not ripe.

Things people don’t tell you about getting healthier:
- You’re going to have to pee every 20 min.
- You’re going to kick your own ass through workouts you kinda (really actually) hate until its sore for days and somehow you’re going to love and adore it?
- You’re going to have this unexplainable, insatiable urge to post pictures of everything you eat on the internet.

ZOMBIESSS. I think I’ll invest in this. Also, watching The Walking Dead while running = <3

I love to do these workouts and really like to make up my own combinations. I made this sheet for anyone who wants to try but also for myself. I have a little note book with them so here’s just a few. remember go at your own pace but push yourself. Even if its just one more than you want to.
I have a gymboss interval timer but you can also get an interval timer app but i’m sure you could also find one on the computer if need be.
If you’re unsure about anything please send me a message.
heres some of the moves if you’re unsure of how to do them.
Supermans except without the stability ball
In and Out Abs: Staring in a V extend legs out and In.
Spider knee: Bringing one leg to your chest then rotating it out to the side and back to plank. Alternate
3 Point Jump Is jumping to the side, the middle then the other side.
Side Burpee: Regular burpee but instead of jumping to a plank you jump to a side plank. Make sure you place your hands evenly on the ground before you jump and go at your own pace.
